We are so happy for the the owners of this stunning Trakehner mare, stable name "Flo".

We are so happy for the VH Stud producing this stunning filly. Out of their Smooth Design x Stanhopes Diddicoy British Futurity Gold graded mare, "Charm" and by our Koning Albert, she is certainly one very pretty girl. She is also the first Tobiano that Berti has created, but the the dam being Homozygous Tobiano T/T, there was little doubt that thi...
Albert had the week off to recover from Blue Chip as he was very tired, his legs were a little hot but fortunatley he didn't have a temperature. We took it easy on him with a little trip out to Epworth EC for some dressage. Managing to dodge the rain, Ellie and Berti did 2 lovely tests in the short arena. Berti made a faux pas in his canter change ...
We think it's always important to write honest news articles, as in this game, it doesn't always go right. There's absolutley no point in only posting the days when it goes well, as that is Social Media world where everything is shiny, better than life itself and outright utter rubbish. The upsides, were we had a great time supporting Dani & Ka...

Koning Sport Horses were helping on the stand and ran a draw to win a goodie bag. We also ran colouring competitions on both da...
A cheeky trip to Manor Grange Stud Competition Centre, Koning Albert and Ellie Roberts entered two Novice tests. After a small drama in the warm up when a girl on a cheeky mare was deposited on the floor and the mare ran straight for Berti, who kindly carried on listening to Ellie instead of what he'd probably rather be doing, it was their turn in ...
Koning Albert and Ellie Roberts nailed two tests today at Port Royal despite some improvisations made by Albert to liven up the test 🤷♀️ With 35 entries Michelle Bainbridge ran a tidy ship and it all went very smoothly. Albert gave Ellie a nice test in the Novice 37a to take the class and the Gold Section win with just under 70%. Plenty to work on...

Both qualifying for the Blue Chip Champs. In the 1m25...
As Koning Albert had qualified for the Novice Gold and the Novice Gold Freestyle to Music at the Regionals, we made 2 trips to Bishop Burton this week.

We were very excited to take Koning Albert to the British Breeding Stallion Show held at Addington Manor Equestrian Centre, Buckinghamshire on Saturday 10th February, 2024. It is a fabulous opportunity for people to see many stallions in the same place and be able to meet them and their Teams in the stables. The people at these events are so friend...
Koning Albert took 3 of his Team to Bishop Burton for his first go at Elementary level dressage. The weather wasn't pleasant and us lower level mortals had to do their tests outside. The arena boards were held down with sandbags and were still flapping and the rain seeped in everywhere ☔ Berti was a little full of himself as it's quite hard in the ...
We are all very happy getting Berti out for his first BS show. Another nice DC in the Fox class gives him his qualifier for the second rounds and a great steady DC in the 1m25, gets us back into the swing for 2024. Superbly ridden as ever by Dani Johnston, who rode many DC's on other horses throughout the day, winning the Fox with Elton John ...

Beautifully produced and ridden in this video by Dani Johnston, and also produced up through the levels in dressage by Ellie Roberts, we couldn't be happier with the results. It is such a pleasure workin...
To say we are proud of this horse is an understatement. It was a perfect end to 2021. Bermudez BDA made the long journey to the London International Horse Show to compete in the Services Jumping Championships. We had lent him to PS Charlotte Lee of Dorset Police whose own horse was sadly injured and was therefore unable to help her in her drea...
